"Suga."
At the sound of his name spoken in a neutral tone, Suga halted mid-step on the small staircase. Zion was already standing at the entrance, waiting for him—something Suga hadn't expected. Gale, who had been following behind him, took this as his cue to excuse himself since he had no reason to enter the mansion.
Zion's eyes, which had been fixed on Suga's face, slowly drifted downward. His brows furrowed at the sight of the dirt-stained fabric on Suga's shorts. Without hesitation, he stepped closer, crouched slightly, and patted the remaining dust off with a gentle motion.
"Did you fall?"
Watching him, Suga swallowed down the chuckle rising in his throat. Yeah, they really are siblings, huh? From the ones he'd met so far—William, Tara earlier, and now Zion—all of them seemed naturally inclined toward physical touch.
